Had my test drive yesterday, probably gonna bail out because...

I believe most of the Get Amped drives were with the steering set to sport. With the steering set lighter, low speed maneuvering should be easy.

There should be an "adaptive" setting, where there is full steering boost at low speeds and low boost at high speeds, ramping down gradually with speed.

My guess it will appear in time, in a software update.

Certainly not a Nissan Leaf, which in my mind is really just a metro car. I don't think the Model S was ever designed to be just a city car.

My wife sat in the back seat during both the Leaf and Model S drives, and her comment was that the leaf backseat "must not be meant to seat adults".

Weird. I have a Leaf, and when I adjust the front seat for myself (I'm 6'2") I sit quite comfortable in the back seat "behind myself". It is certainly better than most backseats I've tried, though I don't know many people with big BMWs or Mercedes cars

Our driving Rep did say it is speed sensitive steering, as well the steering ratios change with the mode settings too.

Ok, probably just too heavy at low speeds in the "sport" setting then.
